Subject: [PATCH] drivers: regulator: core: remove return value check of `rdev->debugfs`

Smatch complains that:
rdev_init_debugfs() warn: 'rdev->debugfs' is an error pointer or valid

According to the documentation of the debugfs_create_dir() function,
there is no need to check the return value of this function.
Just delete the dead code.

Fixes: 247514344492 ("regulator: Remove ifdefs for debugfs code")
Fixes: 1130e5b3ff4a ("regulator: Add initial per-regulator debugfs support")

No problem. We will disable this Smatch checker in our daily use.

Thanks for your feedback.
